In Sympathy

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!

Today's card was created for the Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge this week , LOVE Allison's sketch this week, and will hopefully be making another :)



So for my card I used Heartfelt Creations Posy Patch stamps/dies to create these flowers. I had made a TON of these for a layout that im going to frame, and had some left over.

 

Card Measures 5 3/4" x 5 3/4"

 

SUPPLIES USED LISTED BELOW

Flowers- stamped in distressed ink on white cardstock then airbrushed with RV21, and RV00, I distressed the edges with antique linen, and spritzed all flowers with pearl spritz. for the centers I added a vintage pearl, and then used seam binding to create my leaves.

 

Spellbinder frame- cut in Bazzill Blank Check, and then used CottageCutz Fancy oval (distressed )for the center sentiment.

Sentiment- Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3377 Sympathy Sentiments was stamped in memento black ink.

 

Design paper- once in awhile I will go through my scrap design papers to use them up, so I don't know who these are by.

Embellisments- Vintage Lace(Very OLD), Vintage Velvet Ribbon(also OLD), Vintage Pearls, and sewing to complete my card

 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

hugs to all,

Cheryl

ScrapbookPal Design Team Entry Vintage Book!

Hello everyone today I'm sharing a 2 Vintage looking heart shaped book I designed these books using the Cricut, and other fun crafting items and supplies!

Due to my post being super LONG I'm not listing all items separate and where they all come from(way too many to list, and from too many different places) All cartridges,spellbinders, and inks can be found HERE at "Scrapbook Pal.com "

Supplies Used:
CARD STOCK CUT/with Doodlecharms Cartridge: Front&Back Cover( (4)- 5 1/2 inch Hearts(2 )pink, (2) cream")Inside Pages( (4)- 5 inch Hearts (3) cream, (1) pink) Heart Frames for inside book ( 4 inch pink, 3 1/2 inch cream, 2 1/2 inch Pink, 2 inch Cream)

Design Paper Cut for inside(I used 3 different DP patterns):(4) 4 1/2 inch hearts(inside pages),(3)5 inch hearts(front and back of book)
CARD STOCK CUT/with Christmas Cheer Cartridge:
(1) -2 inch Scallop tag square foundation in PINK, (1)- 1 1/2 foundation square,(1) 2 1/2 inch Foundation Square Pink & (1) 2 inch cream foundation square(this is the name of  the button on the pad)
SPELLBINDERS:
Cut with Fancy Tags(scrapbookpal.com)/1 cream
Cut with Scallop Circle Large(scrapbookpal.com)/1 cream
Photo Mats Cut with regular cutter/ 2 1/2 x 3 1/4 Pink, 2 1/4 x 3 cream, then 2 1/2 x 2 3/4 Pink, 2 1/4 x 2 1/2 cream.
Tag (with the beads) is Crystal Clear( I added the beads)
DISTRESS INKS:
Antique Linen, Vintage Photo,Walnut Stain(all are Tim Holtz) Use sponge to distress with! these Tim Holtz inks can be found here at Scrapbookpal.com
Embellishments:
All ribbon Rosettes are Handmade by me(see Tutorial HERE), Vintage Seam Binding(for little flowers)Ribbon for Bows(several yards for bows,rosettes),Roses(10), Buttons(6) use as desired, and crystal gem hearts(3), Bead strand for the 1 tag!
Trims&LACE:
Lace trim for front & back of front cover(this is glued to small heart on the front, and smaller heart on the back of front cover) 1 yard. Back of book heart(used decorative Tulle cut thin 1 inch long strips and attached to smaller heart )
Inside Pages:(1) 17 inch piece for first page same thing(glue to small DP heart then attach to larger heart),Back of 1st page:(cut 5 1/4 inch piece of ruffled trim), 2nd page(used different trim17 inch for around heart), and green lace 5 1/4 inch piece for on top of heart.Back of 2nd page:5 inch piece of wide flat lace to attach to this page. Last page(back of book) 6 inch piece of wide lace for top of heart.

To Start: First you will want to distress all hearts as desired. Next You will want to add your lace to all DP(as desired) or shown! Then you can attach the design paper hearts to each of the larger 5 1/2 inch hearts(do fronts, and then do backs) if sewing make sure to sew each piece(DP to 1 heart) then glue both front and back pages together(I use ATG GUN)!You will want to continue this step until all pages are together(if not sewing, you could add trims).

Now you will want to add all your pieces (tags,heart shapes,cutouts).Put tags together after you distress them, you can design them to your liking! Add them to any page. Last thing you will do is add all your rosettes,roses,buttons,ribbons! I left the photo frames with just distressing and stamped image until I want to add photo's to them. You could add your own photo's, or even a stamped image. then you can punch a hole with the crop- a -dile in the left hand corner of each heart, then use a ring to hang the pages on, if you don't have a ring to use, you could always use ribbon :)

Just have fun making this sweet book, I know I did!! :)

Here is another picture of the back cover with a picture of My Grandpa and Great Grandma! I wanted to show how you can just add the pictures in (use foam dots, or photo corner brackets) I couldn't find some old ones I had bought like 15 years ago, oops I lost them in the move maybe...hhehhehehe :)

Here is the front cover again! You can click on picture to see close up :)

Stamps are all from :

Su!

Papertrey Ink

Hero Arts

Some Satin Ribbons: Given to me by my Mom

Vintage Seam Binding from :Judy's Bebe's and friends( My mom)

Buttons :( are ones that Ive collected for the last 5 years)

Here is a video on how I made the little rosettes, and scrunched up pieces with vintage seam binding!

 ( I used these between the ribbon rosettes, and on some of the pages I used them as a rosettes under the roses! I glue them down with the hot glue gun! :) Fast and Easy!!! :)

**********************************************************
This is the 1st heart shaped notebook I made this past weekend!

The top notebook is my 2nd one made this past weekend :) Just wanted to share a sneak peek of this one :) I will have to post the pages another day this week! :)

This one has 3 pages on the inside of the book! If you want a larger book just up the supplies (adding more of the 5 inch hearts) and remember there are 2 hearts per page with card stock!! :) and  2 design papers that measure 4 1/2 inches, then decorate.

Thank you for looking and have a nice day!!!
